The Architects Of Extermination

Ken Goodey
Bought this album and the other Kommandant record, 'cos they were on offer from those splendid ATMF people! I like both on first listen, but need to listen a few more times before I can comment fully, which could take time as I have a very full 'dance card' when it comes to music.

Kommandant lost in agressiveness to perform an album in a more martial mood. From the very first notes you can easily imagine yourself in a black and white war-documentary.
Favorite track: Onward to Extinction.

Research has shown it takes approximately 4 hours to achieve 75% absorption or higher. () So if you want the full beardifying effects of minoxidil, you’re gonna have to leave it on your face for this long.

The absolute minimum amount of time you can leave it on and still get results is 1 hour. However, this will only result in approximately 50% absorption or less, so keep that in mind.

As an aside, some people leave minoxidil on overnight. This is fine too. It’s completely up to you what to do. Just keep the golden 4 hour rule in mind.

After 4 hours, wash your face or rinse with water.

Again, this may not apply to you depending on whether you decide to leave it on overnight. But if you’re applying it twice daily, you’ll want to rinse or wash your face after 4 hours to prevent any further drying of the skin.

Moisturize!Yes, this is important.

Like I mentioned earlier, the propylene glycol and alcohol content in minoxidil is inherently irritating and could disrupt the
moisture barrier
. You want to be replenishing the damage minoxidil does with a high quality moisturizer.Make sure to apply moisturizer AFTER minoxidil has dried (approximately 4 hours).

You should be looking for a moisturizer that has skin identical ingredients like ceramides, cholesterol, or hyaluronic acid. These ingredients all aid in skin recovery, strengthen barrier function, and provide a lot of hydration.

In my humble opinion, the CeraVe moisturizers are the best for this purpose.

My favorite is
CeraVe Cream
. It’s good for all skin types,has a cosmetically elegant and isn’t noticeable on the skin at all. If you’re the kind of person that hates the feeling of lotions, you’ll love this stuff!

Do all these steps one to two times daily! If you skin is easily irritated, use it only once. Don’t worry, you can use minoxidil once a day and still get good results (example included in the minoxidil before and after section).Some have even had success applying it once every other day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This isn’t an overnight kind of thing. You can realistically expect to see results within 3 to 6 months. However, continued use delivers better results.

The recommended minimum treatment period is 6 months, but most people generally aim for the one year mark. By then, significant progress is made and usually all the hairs have gone terminal.

Of course, not everyone is the same. Some people see results
very quickly
(e.g. 2 weeks), while others require several months. Just be patient and persistent and the beard
will
come in. By the 3 month mark, it should be pretty clear whether it’s working for you or not.⠀⠀⠀

Detection of latently infected neurons by means of in situ hybridization.
Mice were killed 6 to 7 weeks after inoculation, their ganglia were explanted and fixed, and sections were analyzed by means of a DIG-labelled riboprobe. In the ganglionic sections obtained from survivors of the infection without treatment, numerous neurons stained positive for major LAT (Fig.
2
A). The stain was confined to the nucleus and had a punctate distribution characteristic of this probe (
1
). The DNase-treated, latently infected sections gave results similar to those given by the infected, untreated control sections. All RNase-treated, latently infected sections were negative (data not shown). Sections of ganglia from uninfected mice processed identically were completely negative for major LAT staining (Fig.
2
B), and a sense riboprobe also gave no positive neurons, although this probe did show positively staining neurons when it was applied to acutely infected ganglionic sections obtained at 5 days p.i. (data not shown). For each experimental group analyzed by in situ hybridization, a DIG-labelled probe specific for ICPO (an immediate-early gene) was applied to the sections to provide an internal control for nonspecific hybridization or staining artifacts. The number of positively staining neurons/section (± standard error) was 124 ± 2.09 for the left trigeminal ganglion and 58 ± 2.87 for the left CIII (Table
5
).

Mean number of LAT-positive cells per ganglionic section from mice inoculated in the ear pinna with HSV-1 SC16 and treated with FCV or VACV

The ganglia from mice treated with VACV starting from 4 days p.i. or earlier showed reduced numbers of LAT-positive neurons (Table
5
). For FCV there was a reduction in all treatment groups. A second experiment was carried out as described above to cover the treatment time from day 1 to day 10 p.i. These results were consistent with those of experiment 1 and confirmed the results obtained by disaggregation that even when treatment was initiated on day 1 p.i., a small number of positively staining neurons remained in all sections (Table
5
and Table
6
; Fig.
2
C and D). Sections from ganglia treated with FCV from day 1 p.i. contained approximately 30% positive neurons compared with the number present in ganglion sections from infected, untreated control mice.
